The focus of this day is on thinking about contexts and values in early childhood settings through the lens of possibilities offered by the educational project of Reggio Emilia. Beginning with an overview of key pedagogical principles, Stefania will share stories from daily life in the municipal infant-toddler centres and schools; the evolution of a project drawing and narrative from Arcobaleno infant-toddler centre; the experience of the learning community at Neruda school welcoming a child with Down’s syndrome; and The Story of the Last Paratrooper to Land, a celebration of the ‘meaningful alliance’ between educators and families. Stefania uses rich images and video footage from her research internship in Reggio Emilia to illustrate the possibilities that pedagogical documentation offers to make values and choices visible in early childhood settings.
